Wanted Dead Or Alive Lyrics

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone all you do is think

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive

What is the Meaning of Wanted Dead Or Alive?

In this classic rock anthem, Bon Jovi delves into the life of a touring musician, likening it to that of an outlaw cowboy. The lyrics convey a sense of loneliness and longing for home amidst the relentless travel and performance schedule. With vivid imagery, the song captures the duality of fame—thrilling yet isolating. The "steel horse" symbolizes his motorcycle or tour bus, while "wanted dead or alive" reflects both his desirability as an artist and the existential weariness he feels. This powerful narrative resonates with anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of chasing their dreams. #RockAnthem #TourLife #Loneliness #Fame
